            Bug ID: 95970
           Summary: gcc/go/gofrontend/types.cc:1474:34: warning: ‘this’
                    pointer null
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: bootstrap
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: msebor at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Since r11-1697 Go bootstrap fails due to the following warning turned error:

In static member function ‘static Expression* Type::type_descriptor(Gogo*,
Type*)’,
    inlined from ‘virtual Expression* Named_type::do_type_descriptor(Gogo*,
Named_type*)’ at /ssd/test/src/gcc/trunk/gcc/go/gofrontend/types.cc:11114:53,
    inlined from ‘virtual Expression* Named_type::do_type_descriptor(Gogo*,
Named_type*)’ at /ssd/test/src/gcc/trunk/gcc/go/gofrontend/types.cc:11105:1:
/ssd/test/src/gcc/trunk/gcc/go/gofrontend/types.cc:1474:34: warning: ‘this’
pointer null [-Wnonnull]
 1474 |   return type->do_type_descriptor(gogo, NULL);


The warning, issued from tree-ssa-ccp.c, is triggered by the use of the null
pointer as the first argument in the following call for the IL below.

  _31 = OBJ_TYPE_REF(_30;(struct Type)0B->12) (0B, gogo_12(D), 0B);
